One of television's most critically acclaimed programmes, The Wire addresses the seedy side of Baltimore’s finest, looking into money, drugs, politics and murder. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn. A study on urban life in one of America’s toughest cities, each season of The Wire has focused on a different aspect of Baltimore, starting with the police force and the drug trade, then moving on to City Hall, the education system and concluding with the media.
Another addition to the 'torture porn' horror genre penned by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the writing team behind the 'Saw' horror franchise. Josh Stewart stars as Arkin, a down-on-his-luck handyman who, desperate to pay off a debt to his ex-wife, plans to rob the safe at the country mansion home of his employer, a famous jeweller. Unfortunately for him, the property has already been rigged with a series of lethal booby traps by a second criminal: the silent, masked serial killer known only as 'The Collector' (Juan Fernandez), who likes to keep his terror-stricken, eviscerated victims alive for as long as possible while he inflicts his ever more inventive forms of torture upon them.

Double-bill of films from cult British director Alex Cox. In 'Three Businessmen' (1998), when art dealers Bennie (Miguel Sandoval) and Frank (Alex Cox) have no luck trying to get a meal in the abandoned dining room of a Liverpool hotel they set out into the city looking for something to eat. However, for one reason or another, each of the restaurants they visit proves unsatisfactory and before they know it they have travelled halfway around the world, caught up in their trivial prattle, and still without finding any food. This all changes with the dawn, when they meet another hungry businessman and eat breakfast at a stall in the street. In 'Highway Patrolman' (1992), Pedro (Roberto Soza) is a patrol cop who, fresh out of police academy, gets assigned to a lonely stretch of road in Northern Mexico. He strives to remain honest and uphold the law, but his wife, his friends and even his superiors give him a hard time until he eventually begins to accept bribes. However, when his friend is killed by drug dealers Pedro decides that enough is enough and sets out to seek his vengeance. In Spanish with English subtitles.
